Is India Moving Away From Iran? What Happened to Strategic Autonomy? I Vijender Masijeevi

India and Iran share a relationship that goes back centuries, rooted in cultural exchange, language, trade, and diplomacy. The very word dosti traces its origin to Persian influence, reflecting how deep historical ties have shaped Indian society. From ancient civilizational links to modern energy partnerships, the relationship has long symbolized independent engagement beyond power blocs. India once championed the Non Aligned Movement, asserting that it would neither side fully with the United States nor the Soviet Union. That doctrine later evolved into what policymakers called strategic autonomy in a multipolar world. The idea was simple yet powerful. India would make decisions based on its own national interest without external pressure. Today, questions are being raised about whether that autonomy still exists. Debates around oil purchases, diplomatic silence on key international events, and global conflict positioning have sparked concerns about the direction of India’s foreign policy. If strategic autonomy was meant to safeguard independent decision making, the real issue now is whether India is still shaping its own path or adjusting to external influence. #indianforeignpolicy #strategicautonomy #indiairanrelations #geopolitics #nonalignedmovement #globalpolitics #energysecurity #diplomacyindia #multipolarworld #internationalrelations #foreignpolicydebate #indiainworld #policyanalysis #globalstrategy #politicaldiscussion About Dr Vijender: Dr Vijender Chauhan is an educator, UPSC Interviewer and Motivational speaker with an experience of over a decade.
